England defender Jess Carter says she will take a step back from social media after experiencing “a lot of racial abuse” during Euro 2025.

In a statement on Sunday, the Lionesses also said they would now stop the anti-racism move of taking a knee before matches, saying it was “clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism”.

“From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse,” said the 27-year-old Carter.

“While I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don’t agree or think it’s OK to target someone’s appearance or race.

“As a result of this I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with.”

The Football Association said it was “working with police to ensure those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice”.
